The Fourteen Words is a White nationalist phrase which refers to one of the following 14-word slogans:[1]

We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children.

Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth.

The slogans were coined by noted racist David Lane in reference to his 88 Precepts and "pyramid prophecy". Thus, white supremacists will sometimes combine "the 14 words" in reference to the excerpt in the phrase "14/88" or "1488". It is sometimes claimed the first set of 14 words was inspired by an 88-word passage in Volume 1, Chapter 8 of Mein Kampf[2] but neither Lane or his publisher Fourteen Word Press ever made this association and it is probably a coincidence.

"88" has dual meaning as it also is used to reference H as the 8th letter of the alphabet, and thus the 88 can also be used to stand for HH, or "Heil Hitler".[3]

Hungarianfar-right (though purportedly not Neo-Nazi) party Jobbik often uses the numbers 14 and 88, such as publishing their program for the 2010 elections in 88 pages[4] and having their party headquarters' phone number be (+36 1) 365 14 88.[5]

The white separatist, white nationalist organization Northwest Front and Neo-Nazi Harold Covington use the 14 words in the preamble of the Northwest American Republic Constitution which reads as:

In the name of the Divine Creator of all things we, the Aryan peoples of the earth, do hereby set forth this Constitution of the Northwest American Republic, in order that we may secure the existence of our people and a future for White children.[6]

In January 2017, Ann Coulter posted a tweet saying only "14!". This was widely interpreted by alt-right Twitter users, as well as liberal observers, as a dog whistle referencing the Fourteen Words and openly identifying herself for the first time as a white nationalist, although Coulter later tweeted that she was counting down the final days of Obama's Presidency and was unaware of the number's Nazi associations.[7]

↑"What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe. Every thought and every idea, every doctrine and all knowledge, must serve this purpose. And everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility." - Mein Kampf
